Meet the Team behind
Zosimos Curra
Zosimos Curra is built on stories, sketches, and a whole lot of heart, and none of it would be possible without the small but mighty team behind the scenes.
We’re a family-powered creative crew made up of big ideas, late-night brainstorms, and plenty of snacks. From writing and illustrating to business support, design, and emotional backup, each of us brings something unique to the table.
Here’s who’s helping bring the world of Magbean® and Zosimos Curra® to life:

As an autistic writer and illustrator from Canberra, Nat combines personal experience with bold imagination to create stories that celebrate diversity, kindness and self-expression. From world-building to character design, every part of Zosimos Curra® is infused with Nat’s passion for uplifting kids through creativity.
